Chum as I know it is meat based material thrown overboard just to attract sharks and other fish.

Hey, chum, pass me some of that fine Mountain Dew to cut this moonshine, and while you’re at it throw some chum in the water to see if we can lure some fish over here.

Hi Sandra - I'd say Chum is a salmon, which it is Canada ... so yes I'll have some Chum, chum, with some of David's Mountain Dew! ... happy days - cheers Hilary

I heard Trump gobbles up chum when his minions throw it into his pen. I did know that about Mountain Dew I loved that pop when I was a kid. Some of the cans had a moonshine coming out of his broken cabin. I looked it up and my daddy told me the story of it.

Chum I know is meat and parts they throw into water to attract certain fish, like sharks. I didn't know that about Mountain Dew! Xo

I knew that Mountain Dew is the name for illicitly distilled liquor. I've always wondered why it was chosen for a soda name.

I knew about chum as they throw it off fishing boats to attract larger fish. I didn't know that about Mountain Dew. I think it has one of the highest caffeine levels so I don't drink it.
